“We came home to happy, healthy dogs. Michelle was flexible about difficulties we had with travel from the huge storm that blew in just before Christmas which was really helpful.”
“Grace is lovely. She spent approximately 10 days at our home house sitting for our 2 senior Yorkies. She followed their care plan and kept in touch with us daily. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Thanks Grace!”
“We are visiting the area with our 2 dogs. I’m so happy I found Maya to stayed with them while we went out to dinner. She is very sweet and knows how to handle any dog size and personality. She gain their trust quickly and played a lot with our very active GSP. We will book her again in a couple of days.”
“I don't even know where to begin with how wonderful Ariel is! She took amazing care of our handful of a dog for 4 days while we were away and went above and beyond! She was very respectful of our home, which she offered to stay over to give our dog more company. She was very informative and communicating with me about everything from his feeding, bathroom breaks, and hours so would come and go. She asked great questions and genuinely cared about caring for our dog and interacting with him. I would highly recommend using Ariel for your pet sitting needs. I hope to be able to have her watch our dog again before the end of summer. 5+ stars for Ariel!”
About: I’m a travel nurse without any animals who wants to love on yours! I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 3 years old, up to 3 dogs at a time. I trained my puppy while I was in high school and have loved on dogs through their old age as well. I worked at a doggy daycare for a few summers while I was in college. I work 10 hours shift during the week, however I am free in the evenings after 6pm and have one free day during the week. I am always available on the weekends. I understand that all dogs have their own routine, needs & quirks! I am very thorough with the care I provide and will love them like my own! I have experience in dogs with medical needs such as giving them oral meds & injections as well as post-op recovery care.
“Bri took exceptionally good care of our two darling kitties while my wife and I were out of town for a week dealing with a family matter. Bri sent us lots of happy pictures of our little babies, which did our hearts a world of good in a difficult time. The cats loved Bri and we won’t hesitate to contact her next time we plan to go out of town! We can rest easy knowing she will be taking care of our little loves. Thank you Bri!”
“Zoe is so great! She sends updates and pictures and will ask questions if anything comes up. Pets are always happy and healthy when we get home. She even watched them over Christmas holiday which was amazing. Highly recommend!!”
“Julia helped us out last minute when we couldn't find anyone to stay with our dogs overnight. She was great! She communicated with us and took good care of our 2 goldendoodles. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Nicola is the best of the best. Above and beyond help and care for my dogs. Thank you again and again for taking care of my fur babies for me and being helpful as well communicative. See you next time!”
“Kaitlyn is super communicative, thinks about how to make the experience the best it possibly can be for your pet, and sends tons of photos and updates to make sure you know your pet is in the best hands possible and is happy and taken care of! It’s obvious Kaitlyn enjoys caring for pets and that this means more to her than just a job!”
“Anna was great with meeting cashew and asked great questions. She took very care of our pup and our home. I would definitely recommend and hope to have Anna watch our doggo again in the future.”
“Sarah was amazing. So intuitive with our nervous dog, who was immediately comfortable with her. Reliable, responsive, kind, caring and very clean. We feel so grateful to have found her! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”
“Camilla did a 5 night stay at our house with our pups and was amazing! She continuously kept us updated and sent many photos to keep us at ease while we were on vacation! I would highly recommend booking :)”
“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dog for years, and over time friends started trusting me with theirs too. I’m reliable, I pay attention to what each dog needs, and I genuinely enjoy having them around. I’m currently working from home but can take time out of my day during to take care of pets and walk dogs. Since I work from home, I am typically also available to house-sit. I have a cozy townhome in which the dog will have lots of room to move around and plenty of space outside for me to take them on a walk.

Amazing! 2nd time asking Michelle to stay at our home with Sheba. The amount of attention and care that is given is outstanding. The picture updates are so welcomed and appreciated just to see how happy she is!. We know that Sheba is in great hands and we do not have to worry at all. Feeding, medication, pop in energy release visits and most important a cuddle buddy! Can't thank you enough Michelle!
Katie did a phenomenal job with my cat Gracie! She was communicative, kind, and attentive to detail - and I had a lot of confidence leaving my cat in her care. I came home to a happy cat and a house just like I left it (emptied trash, fresh sheets, clean dishes) - would happily use her services again!
Lisa was great to work with. One of my dogs is protective of the house/yard and Lisa handled the situation well. Both of my dogs warmed up to her quickly and the updates she provided throughout the stay were comforting. I will definitely contact her again if I need a pet sitter.
Bri was SO phenomenal taking care of our dogs for 2 whole weeks. She communicated daily with awesome, honest updates and made us feel completely secure that our dogs were getting excellent care. She is so organized and professional, and our dogs adored her. We would love to have her watch our dogs for any trip!!
Kat is the best! Maxwell loves her, and she is so good with him. She gives you detailed updates every day with lots of good photos. And she leaves our apartment in such good order. This is the second time we have used her for dog sitting and would do so again without hesitation.
Ariel did a wonderful job taking care of my cat for a long weekend! She was professional, friendly, and responsive and asked thoughtful questions about my preferences before her stay. I came home to a clean house and happy cat - would happily trust her to stay with Gracie again!
Hannah has been absolutely amazing, truly an angel. She took care of our dog for two weeks and showed incredible commitment and care throughout. Our dog can be challenging, especially due to his anxiety around paw cleaning and eye care, but Hannah handled all of his needs with patience and skill and treated him as if he were her own. She sent daily updates without fail, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, she took excellent care of our home and we came back to a house that was even better than we left it. Hannah is exceptional and we would absolutely trust her again. We cannot wait to have her pet sit for us in the future. 🙌🏻
Molly was proactive in her communication and took great care of my dog and cat. She sent us photos periodically, somehow got my cat to accept her as a lap the cat could tolerate and left the house as she found it. We'll definitely have her back again--she's great.
Julia is the BEST dog sitter! Our two dogs not only love her but get to do all sorts of fun things with her that we don’t do (more walks, new places, etc). She sends frequent updates accompanied by wonderful photos. In addition, she’s a super trustworthy and reliable house sitter while caring for the pups. We always feel secure in the knowledge that Julia provides safe and loving care. Recommend 110%!
This was my first time using Angela to house and dog sit while I went away for a quick one night trip. She was delightful to work with. Very kind and friendly and attuned to my dog, Penelope’s, needs. Communication was excellent leading up to and during my time away. She sent lots of pictures and videos of Penelope, which I always find comforting while separated. She even brought her dog (after a meet and greet to see if they were compatible) so that Penelope had a playmate. It looked like they had a wonderful time together. Not sure Penelope even noticed I was gone. Angela left the house nice and tidy and put on some soothing nature sounds for the hour Penelope was going to be alone before I got home. She also made brownies and left some for me when I got home. Penelope and I are both looking forward to our next Aunty Angela stay!
Kristine is amazing. She is friendly, very accommodating, and knowledgeable about pets, their behaviors. and pets care. Kristine is great with my two very different and very “personalitied” pups. She is very responsive to messages re booking and incredibly communicative during visits and sittings. Kristine is an incredible overnight guest. I never worry about my pups or the house when traveling. I cannot recommend Kristine enough.
Virgelica was the best! She cared for my turtle & cat while we were both away. They can both be finicky pets but she did great with them and kept me up to date. The two of them are happy as can be since I returned home. I had tech issues while I was away and wasn't able to access the rover app frequently -- I'm glad rover provides a phone number so we could keep in contact that way. Virgelica was diligent, had great communication, and both of our pets happy! Would recommend her to anyone.
